A friend's parents had a Nissan Patrol when I was a kid in the 60s. It was slow, loud, rattled like a tin can full if nickels, drove like a tractor, and it was very cool. We used to take it on rock-climbing excursions. We sat in back on bench seats that faced each other, running parallel to the length of the car. We put the packs, ropes, carabiners, etc. on the floor between us at our feet. Good times.
